Abstract
My plan is to work directly with the Saint Mark catechists of
both school and parish religious education in an adult learning environment. Together we will raise the questions, compare our
theologies, make connections, raise our awareness levels of what
the Church is calling us to today and ultimately incorporate into
our daily lives and our ministry what we have come to own. Our
subject matter will be the themes already developed in the religion
textbooks of the various grade levels that relate to the sacrament
of reconciliation: God’s love and Church as community, primary
grade material; the Ten Commandments and the seven sacraments dealt
with in the middle grades; faith development and moral decision making, the focus of junior high. The activities will be offered
as in service to new catechists who have not yet been certified, as
well as to those whose certification needs updating.
